(cherry picked from commit c785131ca5a6d24adc519e5e0bf1b69b671d912f)

Closed upvalues are never gray. So after closed upvalue is marked, it is
marked as black. Black objects can't refer white objects, so for storing
a white value in closed upvalue, we need to move the barrier forward and
color our value to gray by using `lj_gc_barrieruv()`. This function
can't be called on closed upvalues with non-white values (at least there
is no need to mark it again).

USETS bytecode for arm64 architecture has the incorrect instruction to
check that upvalue is closed:
| ccmp TMP0w, #0, #0, ne
| beq <1 // branch out from barrier movement
`TMP0w` contains `upvalue->closed` field. If it equals NULL (the first
`#0`). The second zero is the value of NZCV condition flags set if the
condition (`ne`) is FALSE [1][2]. If the set value is not white, then
flags are set to zero and branch is not taken (no Zero flag). If it
happens at propagate or atomic GC State and the `lj_gc_barrieruv()`
function is called then the gray value to set is marked as white. That
leads to the assertion failure in the `gc_mark()` function.

This patch changes yielded NZCV condition flag to 4 (Zero flag is up) to
take the correct branch after `ccmp` instruction.

Tarantool branch: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/tree/skaplun/lj-426-incorrect-check-closed-uv

Assertion failure [1] is not related to the patch (I've reproduced it on
master branch). Looks like another one GC64 issue.

How to reproduce:
1) Run the following command from the Tarantool repo on Odroid:
| $ i=0; while [[ $? == 0 ]]; do i=$(($i+1)); echo $i; make LuaJIT-tests; done
2) Wait (need 4-15 iterations).

Side note: Thanks to the Lord, that there is no #0 issue and it is not
mentioned that way...
